The book explores the historical and present relationship between the military and higher education, and argues that an appropriate presence of the military in the form of ROTC, military history courses, and strategic security studies expands the liberal and civic education of all students, and broadens the university's intellectual horizon.Downs is a co-founder and present director of the Wisconsin Center for the Study of Liberal Democracy. The Center is dedicated to the understanding and critical evaluation of the central principles, policies, and practices of free societies, and to promoting genuine intellectual diversity on campus.Downs is the faculty advisor of the Alexander Hamilton Society student chapter at UW-Madison. The Hamilton Society is a national student organization dedicated to discussing and debating important foreign policy and national security issues, and with thinking about the ways in which America can play a constructive role in international affairs.Downs is also a partner and board member of In the Market Media LLC, an innovative Phoenix based media company that creates interactive software on iPads for use in bars, restaurants, and hotels.Downs is also a noted Oakland Raiders fan. He is known to speak freely on this topic. Downs has stated that he attended Wayland Academy at the same time as wrestler Ric Flair.
